Happy birthday Mukuro

Here is Graffart postcard for Mukuro birthday 6/9

[thehandworld]

She is pretty sure her own face isn't good as she tries to hide behind her hair. Chrome didn't want Mukurou to see her like this.

i find it both depressing and baffling how a majority of her “stans” literally hate her as a character. they’ll be like “oh my god mukuro is such a fucking IDIOT for siding with junko” or “i hate how in dr if she still ends up choosing junko it’s so annoying wtf is wrong with her” or even like “she’s so creepy and annoying in dr0” and it’s like…so what is it about her character that you like? you hate her amorality, you hate her relationship with junko, you hate the way she acts, you hate the way she thinks, you hate the way she cares for and prioritizes junko, and you hate the choices she makes in canon. you hate that she’s a remorseless killer who has a very limited ability to care about people other than her twin sister. and whenever someone points out that she’s a terrible, irredeemable person, you accuse them of making her boring and shallow as if villains are only interesting if they want to redeem themselves and be good people.

so again what is it about her that you like? because based on what you’re saying you hate literally everything about her. you only like the cringe oc you made up in your head who somehow redeems herself (lmfao), heals from her the stockholm syndrome you made up (lmfao x2), and kills junko to save her classmates and her boyfriend makoto.

Mukuro Ikusaba is schrödinger's blorbo because her motivations and personality are intentionally left unexplored and up to interpretation. any time we see her in-game she's playing a character, so the audience has to read between the lines as to what she's actually thinking, and when we see her in the extended media, she's never really given narrative focus. we know that (from her FTE's) at some point after the tragedy she ends up doubting what she's doing, and objecting to the first killing game, but we don't have the story of how she came to that realization. perfect blorbo material, a character full of missing information to be filled out, and a great degree of freedom to do so because of how little we know about her.

but people still manage to take like, the only two canonical things we know about her and outright deny that they happened lol

[mmani-e]

NOW I'm curious on how the other musicals for the other classes went. We know about V3's experiences and Dr2's Wicked experience, but what about everything else with Class 78 and 77's other musicals?

(Your brainrot got me in a chokehold and now I'm brainrotting about it too!)

Alright then! Brainrot spewage below (setting it to read more because it's just a lot haha)

- 1st Year -

DR1: Heathers

Cast: Veronica - Toko, J.D. - Mondo, Chandler - Junko, Duke - Celestia, MacNamara - Aoi, Martha - Sakura, Kurt & Ram - Leon & Yasuhiro, Ms. Fleming - Sayaka, Veronica's mom - Kyoko, Byakuya n Taka - Kurt n Ram's dads.

- Went perfectly.

- Lots of them expressed doubts at putting out such a risqué musical for their first showing, Toko, Celestia, and surprisingly Junko REALLY wanted this though and socially engineered/blackmailed/convinced everyone else to do it too and give it their all.

- Toko goes from pigtails design to her despair girls design in the show.

- Mondo is a very unique J.D. where he utilized his size and presence onstage to make himself REALLY scary. He can actually punch holes into the set with his fist

- They never ended up doing Dead Girl Walking, but in rehearsals they tried it and Genocide Jack kept forcing herself out to slobber all over Mondo.

- Toko lowkey developed a crush on Mondo because of this.

- Junko took this role way too seriously, and Celestia too. While Junko isn't a theatre nerd, she really loves this one show in particular, Celestia is a theatre nerd and that side of her kept coming out in rehearsals.

- Sayaka was not cast for any main roles because she's actually not that great of an actor. Mukuro's amazing singing voice was also not utilized because of the same reason. Kyoko is kind of terrible at everything needed for musicals, while Makoto and Hifumi were lead set designers and took a backseat.

Dr2: Be More Chill

Cast: Jeremy - Hajime, Christine - Chiaki, Michael - Nagito, SQUIP - Gundham, Jeremy's dad - Nekomaru, haven't thought abt the rest but the bi one is Kazuichi.

- Went pretty well tbh.

- Nagito wasn't a good michael, he was half cast because of funny gay jokes between him and Hajime at the time. This wasn't very funny after a while but they were in too deep. He's also just not a great actor for musicals.

- Chemistry between Hajime and Chiaki was good, too good. Emma Stone/Andrew Garfield in Amazing Spiderman levels of too good, honestly kind of suffocating.

- Rest of the cast did well.

- Kazuichi's machines don't vibe that well with the techno-modern sensibilities of BMC.

- Overall 2nd place.

DRV3 Class: Waitress

Cast: Jenna - Kaede, Becky - Maki, Dawn - Himiko, Ogie - Kokichi, Cal - Kaito, Dr. Pomatter - Shuichi, Earl. - Rantaro, Joe - Ryoma

- The opening was done perfectly.

- The rest of the show was kind of a mess

- The students are probably the most OP when it comes to making a production, the problem is that they are also the most chaotic and difficult to control

- Kokichi thought it would be cool to pretend to act like Ogie during rehearsal, only to ditch the costume in the actual show.

- Angie's set design was a little too bombastic the for the grounded production

- Kaito misunderstood his character

- Kaede and Shuichi had the same problem as Chiaki and Hajime, just worse somehow

- No matter what Rantaro tried to do everyone kept thinking he was too hot

- Mess, last place. Himiko blew a gasket, Kokichi looked hollowed-out for the rest of the year

- 2nd Year -

Dr1: Phantom of the Opera

Cast: Phantom - Byakuya, Christine - Mukuro in a blonde wig, Raoul - Leon, other guys I haven't thought of.

- Basically they flew too close to the sun

- This was a disaster

- After the first production, nobody really wanted to work for Toko and her co-planners, and the whole class was divided.

- Junko was also placed under investigation for a whole year for suspected terrorism plots (Mukuro finally got friends and snitched)

- Toko was also MIA to hide from the cops for a good chunk of the year

- Mukuro ended up being a really good Ingenue though and has a great voice for opera.

- Byakuya was very convincing as Phantom

Dr2: Wicked

Cast: Elphaba - Mahiru, Hiyoko - Galinda, Nessa - Mikan, Fiyero - Kazuichi, Oz - Hajime, Morrible - Sonia, Boq - Teruteru, Dillamond - Gundham, The Lion - Nekomaru, Dorothy - Chiaki

- Production went down in school history as the perfect storm.

- Had mad repercussions on a class that wasn't even performing it and all future productions.

- After their performance, the other classes said they won because they performed the show, but actually Chisa straight up said if they didn't perform this show perfectly they would lose by default.

- That's because this show wasn't even really an option to perform, but Sonia and Hiyoko were adamant about performing it instead of anything else on the selection list. This was meant to be a year 3 production.

- Hiyoko basically threw a tantrum to play Galinda, Mahiru calming her down was what made them both get cast as the leads.

- Kazuichi thought Sonia was Galinda (she lied to him) which made him accept the role of Fiyero

- Sonia's infinite resources + Kazuichi's brains meant they might as well have made Oz real. Real Oz the great and powerful mecha with control panel, real time dragon, jet powered broomstick, industrial powered fans, bubble machines that generated real, enormous bubbles, and an emerald city that popped out of the floor.

- This production also put a hard cap on all future musical budgets btw, hmm I wonder why.

DrV3: Hercules

Cast: Hercules - Kaito, Megara - Maki, Hades - Kokichi, Phil - Ryoma, Zeus - Gonta, The Muses - Angie (head Muse); Kaede; Tsumugi; Tenko; Miu, etc, Persephone (bonus character added by the class) - Himiko

- Actually went really well, retconning it so that this is better than Waitress

- Still, the reason they did this was because Himiko crashed out and got depressed because she didn't even get the chance to play Elphaba

- Kaito and Maki make for a very convincing Herc and Meg

- Kaito just isn't a tenor, so they transposed his songs down

- Maki is essentially playing herself

- Kokichi genuinely tried setting his hair on fire for this role with special fireproof gel but Chisa put the kibosh on that

- Gonta was kind of the problem point, he kept forgetting his few lines. He was taught by Nekomaru how to generate inexplicable lightning from his body though

- Year 3 -

Dr1: Company

Cast: Not going into detail about this one because this is a 12 or 14 character show. Know Makoto plays Bobby, Mukuro, Kyoko, and Sayaka play his 3 love interests, Toko is Amy, and Junko plays Joanne.

- If this was played last year, it might have actually beat Dr2's production because of how insane they went here.

- They follow the 2006 revival of Company's schtick where each character except Bobby plays an instrument, they all learned instruments for this and cut back dancing almost completely

- Kyoko, Mukuro, and Sayaka all play the part of frustrated ex/prospective girlfriends very well... A little too well...

- Junko got fucked up by her time in prison and wants to vent by acting like a jaded middle aged woman

- Mukuro plays a southern ditzy belle really well and also doubles as the backup Opera singer for "Not getting married today" where Toko plays Amy.

- Genuinely a great step up with the budget used extremely effectively to make the set look classy but not absurdly expensive.

- Byakuya's favorite musical

Dr2: Little Shop

Cast: Seymour - Hajime, Audrey - Mikan, Audrey II - Gundham (Voice) Kazuichi (Puppeteer), Mr. Mushnik - Fuyuhiko, Orin - Nagito, The Singers - Hiyoko; Mahiru; Ibuki

- This is actually meant to be a year 2 show.

- They ended up last place due to their budgetary restrictions not allowing Kazuichi to make a fully powered mechanical Audrey.

- That wasn't the only problem, but Kazuichi says it is years after the fact.

- Mikan keeps slipping when she tries to dance. This is why she was Nessa in year 2. She makes for a really good Audrey though

- Overall a good production. Just not a great or inventive production, overall last place.

DrV3: Beetlejuice!

Cast: Lydia - Himiko, BJ - Kokichi, the Maitlands - Kaede and Shuichi, Delia/Miss Argentina - Angie, Charles - Korekiyo, Maxie - Ryoma, Maxine/Juno - Kirumi, Girl Boy Scout - Kaito, Otho - Gonta

- The musical that proved everyone else that if these students took themselves seriously they are literally unbeatable.

- Angie on set design and props, Tsumugi for costumes, Shuichi and Korekiyo on research, Kaede on re-scoring, Himiko on stage direction and production, Kokichi on extra manpower, Tenko on choreography.

- Kokichi stepped tf up to help make this musical a reality as a way to make things up to Himiko. Also he really wants to play Beetlejuice. They removed the restriction on manpower this year so they let him bring in his goons

- Angie also trained herself to be really flexible for this role so she moves around like a cartoon character in Delia's song

- Kaede and Shuichi are so white

- They recast the girl scout to he a boyscout and let Kaito play as him as a request, because Kaito wanted to make light of almost dying of a disease earlier in the year

- Only complaint anyone had was that BJ and Lydia seemed to be a little too comfortable with eachother in this performance

- When asked why Korekiyo was Charles, Angie replied that he was the only one that could believably want to marry her depiction of her character

- The FX work is especially crazy, with many of the machines being possessed by Keebo's consciousness to move without need of automatic systems or puppets, like the Sandworm, many of the walls are holograms made by Miu, and Keebo personally lifts Himiko up at the end by detaching his hands and crawling them up her dress like spider before using magnets to levitate her.

-

And yeah that's about it! Hope this satisfied, tell me what ya think.

@whiskeysmulti replied to your post “"Oops. Grounded."”:

"Nagi. What the hell is going on?" Mukuro asked.

​

"I don't know, but Gokudera's leopard, Uri was questioning Roll if they're into pet play with Hibari.  Gokudera caught wind and wanted to know why Uri knew that terminology.  Uri says she mistakenly looked up 'sex paths' instead of your 'six paths'...  Needless to say, the kitten is in trouble.  Iunno, they feel like those two box animals." Chrome says squeezing chocolate syrup on her popcorn.

"I don't think Hibari is the type to do that.  He commands loyalty much like you command Mukurou.  Then again, we each think of the box animals differently.  For me, I think of mine and Mukurou as children."

[danganronpama]

The Ultimate Soldier Becomes... an NPC?

Junko Enoshima never really gave Mukuro “missions” before—at least, not in the way normal people would understand them. Everything was always about Despair, plans, destruction, and ruining the world.

But this time?

This time, the order was simple.

"Go away."

Mukuro had blinked. “…What?”

Junko sighed dramatically. “Go. Awaaaay~” she repeated, slower, exaggerated, like she was speaking to an idiot. "Like, get outta here. Shoo. Go be a normie. Get a boring job, do boring things, and just—do absolutely nothing."

Mukuro stared at her. This was a joke, right?

But no.

Junko was completely serious.

She leaned back, twirling a strand of her strawberry blonde hair around one manicured finger. "I mean, let’s be real, Muku~ You’re, like, too dull to even be interesting to me anymore. If you’re gonna be all boring and lame throughout my masterplan, then ugh, just go become an NPC or something."

She waved dismissively. "Like, idk, become a cashier. Or a janitor. Or—OH! A middle school teacher!" (She burst into laughter at her own joke.) "Could you imagine?! The Ultimate Soldier stuck grading little brats’ math quizzes! PFFFFT—"

Mukuro said nothing.

She just stood there, completely frozen.

“…You don’t want me around anymore,” she said, slowly.

Junko rolled her eyes. "Ding ding ding! We have a winner! Oh my GOD, it took you this long to figure that out?! Why do you think I keep trying to kill you?!

Mukuro’s shoulders trembled.

“…I thought that’s how you showed affection,” she muttered, her voice quiet and unsteady.

Junko leans forward, gripping Mukuro’s face between her hands.

"Ohhhh, Muku, that’s—HAHAHAHAHAHA!—that’s SO FUCKED UP."

Her nails dig in.

"You thought that’s how I showed affection?! That’s fucking hysterical!"

Mukuro felt something cold in her chest.

This was worse than any battlefield. Worse than any mission she had ever taken. Worse than dying.

Junko was discarding her.

She wasn’t being sent to kill. She wasn’t being given a role in some new grand scheme of despair.

She was being told to… fade into the background.

To leave.

To disappear.

To become something Junko would never think about again.

And for the first time in her entire life—Mukuro Ikusaba didn’t know what to do.

Scenario 1: Mukuro Actually Becomes a Cashier

(Because she has no idea what else to do.)

A few months later, somewhere in a tiny convenience store in the middle of nowhere, a tired, slightly miserable Mukuro Ikusaba scans groceries behind the register.

Customer: (smiling) "Oh wow, you’re so fast at bagging! Have you worked here long?"

Mukuro: (dead inside) "...Yes."

Customer: (cheerfully) "That’s so cool! You must be super dedicated!"

Mukuro hands them their receipt.

Mukuro: (monotone) "Thank you for your purchase. Please leave."

She stares blankly at the automatic doors as they slide shut.

This is her life now.

Scenario 2: Mukuro Ignores Junko’s Order & Comes Back Anyway

(Because she refuses to be thrown away like this.)

Months pass.

Junko doesn’t hear from Mukuro. Doesn’t think about Mukuro. Doesn’t even wonder where she went.

Until—

One day—

She wakes up in her luxurious hideout, stretches, and—

Mukuro Ikusaba is standing at the foot of her bed.

Watching her.

Silently.

Junko blinks.

“…Oh, for fuck’s sake.”

Mukuro tilts her head slightly.

"I’m not an NPC," she says, voice quiet, steady.

Junko groans. "UGH, GOD, why?! Why are you like this?!"

Mukuro doesn’t move.

She doesn’t blink.

And for the first time ever—

Junko feels uneasy.

Alternate Ending: What If Mukuro Just… Liked Being a Cashier?

(Bonus crack ending where Mukuro just vibes in retail and actually enjoys it.)

Mukuro, now a full-time cashier, genuinely enjoys her life.

She loves the structure of scanning items.

She becomes a legend among cashiers for never needing to call a manager.

She scares Karen customers with her deadpan stare.

She defuses robberies just by staring at them until they leave.

One day, Junko accidentally walks into her store and freezes.

Mukuro casually scans her snacks.

Mukuro: (deadpan) "That’ll be $9.75."

Junko stares.

Junko blinks.

Junko walks out without paying.

Mukuro watches her leave. Then sighs, grabbing the store mic.

Mukuro: (monotone) "Manager, we have another shoplifter."

The end.

[whiskeysmulti]

.Whiskey. Dash was insane today. Roll: Daddy? Hibari: Don't call me that again, Roll it has a connotation to it that's been ruined by filth and I'm not ready to teach you about it. Mukurou: I can teach her. Hibari: You can stay the hell away from her.

Happy birthday Chrome

Here is Graffart postcard for Chrome birthday 12/5

[ravensilversea]

#would she give this cat a name or be content simply with “Cat”? @upsilambic

I don't think she's the type to just call it "Cat". I could see her leaving it with whatever default shelter name it came with, but if she just grabbed it off the street, it would absolutely end up with something like Merowku or something

Chrome with a cat guys. Like the a scrunky-looking, one-eyed cat that's been through the horrors and may or may not like people but will spend hours in Chrome's arms just purring away.

[thehandworld]

Chrome why do you like Mukurou?

Why wouldn't I? She smiles as she remembers all the times she held and caressed his head, or just spent some lovely time together with the owl. He is kind, he is gentle, he is sweet. Mukurou is always there when I need him and there is something about him that brings me so much warmth that I can't explain. It's more important than anyone I met. She is still not sure who is more important between Mukuro and Mukurou though. He... Her face blushed as she remembered the last time they talked. He is also... Handsome... As she mutter that last part.

[nogoodvongoladecimo]

Roll was not sure how he got involved but... "It wasn't Mukurou-san's fault! And and and Mukuro-san shouldn't be blamed. Im sorry for for..." She was starting to panic at how chaotic this turned to be.

"Don't apologize Roll. I will think of someway to stop this chaos and the both of them from fighting." Tsuna reach out his hand giving Roll's head a light pat, trying to comfort the panic Roll.

Really Mukurou had no real reason to do this but had some form of desire. Since he ran into Natsu, he gave her a pat on the head. "For it being cat day."

Cat day 2024 @musessinabag

Natsu blinked a few times, before letting out a small laugh, forgetting that it was international cat day. "Thank you for the head pat, Mukurou."

「The Smell of Blood and Rain」

About This Blog:

I primarily post Shikiaki content. If you like Shikiaki, feel free to interact with me! I love talking about these two and think about them a lot.

I might be sporadic in my posting as I don't really use social media, but I'll share whatever thoughts, headcanons, and ideas I have when I can.

About Me:

I'm a fic writer and like to write fics for Shikiaki. If you have any prompts or requests for Shiki/Akira that you'd like to see me write, feel free to send them in!

I currently go by Mukurou on AO3.

Sidenote: I am extremely biased toward Shiki and love how terrible yet subtly soft he is. I am also extremely critical of characters I dislike—namely Keisuke and Nano.

I say this with the intention of making it clear that you might see some negativity on this blog, although I'll rarely post about anything that isn't Shikiaki.
